DS-2029 Item #24 for Naturalized US Citizen

[honbako 1]

Hello everyone,

 

Item #24 of Form DS-2029 requests filling out information in regards to the precise periods of time in the United States.  The sample that is available on the US Embassy in Japan web site mentions entering dates from the date one was born (if born in the United States).  I was born outside the US and later became a naturalized citizen (after being a green card holder for many years).  For individuals as myself, when should the starting date be from?  Should it be the date I became a naturalized citizen?

 

Thank you!

it should be all the times you were in the US indifferently if you were a citizen or not physical presence is physical presence they are not asking you presence while you were a citizen only the time you resided and were physicially present in the US so you can start before your naturalization or even way before that if you were a h1b first and then green card holder.
